We pride ourselves on bringing healthy puppies from trusted breeders to loving forever homes.
Small dogs are bred directly from standard sized members of their breed to become smaller. These dogs can range from miniature, to toy, to teacup sizes. Miniature dogs are smaller than their standard counterparts, while toy breeds are smaller than miniatures. The smallest dogs are teacup breeds, which weigh less than 4lb fully grown. These little versions of bigger dogs can live in smaller homes and get more use from smaller yards. That being said, these breeds can sometimes be tougher to train....
Our selection of miniature dogs includes a wide range of breeds such as: Yorkshire Terrier, French Bulldog, Miniature Pinscher, Pomeranian, Dachshund, and many more. Here are some of the most popular small dog breeds that we have available at Mawoo Pets.
The most popular mini dog breeds we offer include the French Bulldog, Yorkshire Terrier, and Toy Poodle mixes (e.g., Yorkipoo, Maltipoo, Chi-Poo). These breeds are particularly loved for their unique temperaments and affectionate personalities.
Mini dogs have some specific health considerations. Common issues for them include dental problems given their small mouths, susceptibility to cold weather, and genetic health issues like heart murmurs and luxating patellas (kneecap difficulties). Keep an eye out for these issues in your small breed dog and don't forget to pay consistent visits to your veterinarian!
Each small dog breed is different. Before bringing home a puppy, you should research the breed's energy level, temperament, grooming needs, and how well it can adapt to your living situation. Also, tiny dogs can require more attention and can suffer from separation anxiety, so consider that in your evaluation when choosing the right breed for you.
This varies by breed. Some mini dogs like Chihuahuas are not good with kids. They can feel threatened by them and may respond with aggression. Other breeds like Shih Tzus and Beagles are excellent (patient!) with kids. They enjoy play and rarely ever show aggression. Keep in mind that whatever breed you bring home, it's important to teach your kids gentle handling of your small pup as miniature dogs can be more fragile.
Mini dogs typically have a longer lifespan than larger breeds. On average, they live from 12 to 15 years, with some toy breeds reaching 18 or even 20 years of age. So if you're in search of a long-term companion, a miniature dog breed can make an excellent choice.
The Chihuahua is the smallest dog breed that we offer. This adorable toy breed is known for its big personality as much as its tiny size. Chihuahuas are a popular choice for those seeking a compact companion.
Yes. Small dog breeds require more careful feeding to avoid obesity (they can more easily be over-fed), regular dental care, and protection from harsh weather conditions.
Tiny dogs generally require less physical exercise than larger breeds. This is part of what makes them suitable for apartment living. But some miniature breeds like Jack Russell Terriers are very active and need a lot of daily exercise. In general, you should plan for daily walks, playtime, and indoor activity to keep your puppy happy and healthy.
Small puppy breeds are usually playful, affectionate, and intelligent. Some are more sociable while others are more reserved - this depends on the breed. Small breed dogs can also be more attached to their primary owner and may demand more attention.
The first 6 months with a new small puppy can be difficult. Adjustment is required as your pup gets used to her new home. You'll also have to think about potty training, teething, training (basic obedience commands), and socialization. In the first few months, puppies are curious and playful but also easily tire themselves out and require plenty of rest. Two other things to keep in mind are teething (i.e., have chew toys ready) and regular veterinary check-ups to monitor your pup's health in this critical period.
